Abstract
A device for laying a pipeline on a seabed. A vessel for laying a pipeline, which is fitted with a stinger for guiding a pipe string descending from the vessel and with a clamping structure for clamping the pipe string to the vessel, and support structure for supporting the part of the pipe string that extends between the surface and the seabed. The support structure includes a cantilever structure, which is fixedly connected to the vessel, and clamping members that mate therewith. The clamping members engage the pipe string and transmit axial stresses from the pipe string to the vessel via the cantilever structure.
